>> we have whattic call circumstantial evidence. we know for a fact that ryan's father, dan jenkins here in calgary owns a silver pt cruiser which matching the vehicle seen outside the hotel in british columbia. we also know that a vehicle very similar to that one is now 700 miles to the west of us in vancouver, british columbia parked in the building where lieian's half sister alena now lives. >> police believe she was killed before he fled to canada. we're talking about the weather now. tropical storm danny is gathering strength. forecasters say it could be a category one by saturday. right now, though, it appears danny will miss the carolina coast, though forecasters are advising people along the coast to watch, to watch the storm. the storm could threaten new

is it too graphic? is the psa too harsh? would you like to see it aired right here in the u.s.? for teenagers, maybe adults as well? give us a call, let us know your view. that's 877-tell-hln. you can also shoot us an e-mail by going to cnn.com/hln, click under "your views." we'll air some of your responses. we know you have an opinion on this one. new evidence has been released in the -- nine of the children were at home. surveillance cameras captured men entering the home and stealing a safe. there it is. ed lavandera has watched the tapes from pensacola, florida, with all the details. ed, we understand you were in court, just got out. what can you tell us?

>> reporter: we spent the last 2 1/2 hours combing through the new le released evidence. under florida law, any time evidence like this is turned over in the discovery process, in the months leading up to a murder trial, once that evidence is turned over to defense attorneys, it then becomes public. however, the judge in this case ruled in what amounts to the video surveillance images and the crime scene photos, that those would be kept under a bit tighter control. so the deal that was reached, it would be under tightly controlled circumstances to view these tapes, and that's what we've been doing in the last 2 1/2 hours.

there were 16 cameras on the property they had condensed most of that to see what is essentially the crime that took place in less than five minutes. there were two particular camera angles which were very striking. one where you see the initial moment where burt and melanie billings are confronted by the gunmen who break into their home. at one point you see burt kind of throw his arms up like he's not going to put up a fight, and another group of men come in behind him, and we understand this is where he was shot in the leg and you see him drop to the ground. you do not see the murders unfold on thinks videotapes. they take place in the couple's master bedrooms. the crime scene photographs do show a lot of that. however, one of the more powerful video images that we've

seen is there was one child that was in that main living room who witnessed the beginning of that confrontation. from the video images are very grainy, but my guesstimate at best is that that child that was in the living room at one point being held by melanie billings could be no more than 5, 6, 7 years old, but the other camera angle that was incredibly powerful was from inside one of the children's rooms you see through the bedroom window, the red van that had brought some of these gunmen onto the property. you see them sleeping. you can see the men jump out of the van, run in toward the home, then there's no audio on these videotape. you can presume the child starts hearing gunshots. the child gets up, walks toward the door, visibly confused and frightened. she gets back into bed, crawls back out of the bed, at one

point covers up her ears as well, and it's not until you see the gunmen reapproach the van that the young girl realizes that all of that is unfolding right below her bedroom windows and she approaches and is able to watch the van pull away. incredibly powerful, poignant moments, which captures the horrific scene. seven people have been charged here. will the tapes allow the police to know who drove the getaway car and so forth? is that why they're analyzing and dissecting? >> reporter: what these videotapes have done for authorities and they say it's been a crucial part of investigation, it brought them to the red van.

however, when you do look at the videotapes, it's impossible to make out, at least in the glimpse that we have gotten, it is impossible to make out any faces or any discernible images of who was inside the home. however, authorities here tell us that local authorities are working with the fbi to enhance those video images, they're going through the process of using height and other factors that they are able to analyze those videotapes to kind of piece together with other evidence to pinpoint, you know, the seven suspects that they have arrested in this case. when you lack at these video images, it's not like you can say it's that particular suspect or that particular suspect. it doesn't give you that kind of clear picture. >> and nothing deterred these pictures. thank you, ed lavandera. well, it has been more than six months since ka leigh

welcome back, everybody. a huge fire continues to rage at a chemical plant in michigan outside detroit sending plumes of black smoke into the air. joining us on the phone to discuss the unique challenges this poses for fire crews. we are joined by the fire chief in silver spring, maryland. thanks for your time. talk about those challenges. what are they facing right now? >> the biggest problem they have at this point is containing the flames itself and based on the fact because as i understand they have hydrocarbons burning there, they will have to provide a significant amount of foam to extinguish those fires. the other challenges they have, as i see in your online stuff is

that they do have tanks there that are exposed. you could see fire burning out of the tops of those tanks. one problem they have concerns about is that those tanks could, in fact, explode and rocket through the air dropping debris throughout the community. so, getting sufficient qualities of water and foam on those tanks is really critical to prevent those from failing. you can see the amount of pressure coming out of that top of that tank that you were showing right now out of the release valve there. >> of course, if it spreads, the total capacity of this plant is 5 million gallons of mostly industrial lubricants. how toxic are those lubricants, generally. >> well, the toxicity, as you can see, you have significant amount of fire here and in many cases they will do a controlled burn and your amount of toxicity is burned out because the fire is so hot. however, once it starts to cool down, that smoke plume that you have will have a variety of toxics in it that are harmful

not only to firefighters but the citizens in the community. >> in that regard, are they continuously monitoring the air quality? >> i would hope so. i would think that the epa or the department of environmental protection for that community would be down during that monitoring so they could take the appropriate precautions and then they require some evacuation down wind on the other hand and they have people simply stand in their homes and close up their homes to avoid taking any toxics. >> we'll keep our eye on it, very highly populated area. roger mcgory the former chief there. thank you so much for your expertise. the fire burning that sterling oil and gas, a company that makes industrial lubricants, mostly for the auto industry. the fire broke out around 11:30 eastern time today. three or four plant workers inside escaped unharmed. again, we'll keep our eye on that. stunning developments in the case of a california girl who went missing 18 years ago and may now be found. police say she has been found

and in good health. she was 11 when she was abducted walking to a bus stop near her home in south lake tahoe in 1991. the fbi had been talking to a woman who surfaced at a bay area police station claiming to be dugard. the woman is, in fact, jaycee dugard. his wife has talked to the woman and she had the right answers to his wife's questions. take a listen to the girl's mother from 18 years ago when she pleaded for her daughter's safe return. again, this is 1991. >> young, innocent child and you may like her, but we love her, too and it's time that she comes home to her family. her sissy has been asking for her. and she needs to be with us. >> again, 1991.

apparently, it's going to have a happy ending. we'll learn a lot more as police in concord, california, will hold a news conference shortly and we'll bring that to you when it happens. there's new evidence in the case of the florida couple killed in their bedroom in the panhandle, not far from pensacola last month as nine of their 13 children were inside the home. surveillance cameras captured men entering byrd and melanie billings' house and struggling with the couple. ed lavandera watches the video and joins us live from pensacola. ed? >> hi, chuck. we spent two and a half hours this morning going through videotapes and more than 2,000 crime scene photographs that have been produced here in pensacola. these have been turned over to defense attorneys and under florida law, that means that they're able to be viewed by the public and the media, as well. however, under a deal with the billings' family and an attorney that filed an injunction to prohibit the wide release of these, these videotapes and

images are not being released, but members of the public and news media are being allowed to view them here under tightly controlled situations. but to get to those video images of the surveillance video inside the home. we have already seen some of those video images. if you remember this case, you see the images of men approaching the house and red van approaching the house and now we've seen video images taken from inside the home where the surveillance cameras capture the struggle. two angles in particular we found rather interesting. one, which shows the initial confrontation between the gunman and byrd and melanie billings. it takes place in their living room. at one point you see byrd billings lifting his hands up in the air, almost as if to kind of surrender and two men approach from behind him and shoot him in the leg, he falls to the ground. what you do not see on these videotapes detailed images of the gunmen's faces and you do not see the murders themselves. those murders took place in the billings' master bedroom. and we've seen the crime scene

photographs of that. we'll spare you the details. suffice it to say that took outside the view of any surveillance cameras inside. but what is rather troubling and disturbing is that one of their children was in the living room and had walked in just moments before the gunman walked in and was standing by a coffee table about five, six feet away from the couple. at one point what appears to be melanie billings holding on to that child at one point. this is grainy video images, but that's what it looked like to me, as well. the second video camera angle was taken inside one of the children's room. a girl about 10 to 12 years old and she's laying down in her bed sleeping when this the van you see approach outside of the bedroom window just below her window. she's on the second floor there. the video camera angle shows her in the bed and the van approaching just outside the window. and you see her, she's continuing to sleeping as we presume she hears the gunshot and you see the young girl get

up to approach the door and go back to bed and get up again to go approach the door and cover herself up with the covers. it almost looks as if she's covering up her ears unbeknownst that that red van is outside her window. not until the end you see the men jump back into the van through that window that the young girl approaches the window and sees the gunman drive off away from their home and then she leaves the room. so, chuck, rather poignant and powerful video images and even though authorities say you can't make out the faces of the gunmen in these videos, they say that they have turned over these videotapes to fbi authorities who are helping them enhance the images to give them a clearer picture and that based in connection with other evidence will help put all these suspect at the scene of the crime. >> ed, well done, thank you. very chilling. there's no audio on these tapes, video only. ed, thank you, appreciate it. disturbing new details are emerging about the death of a

pastor at a small church. investigators say the body of 61-year-old carol daniels was staged. that is, it was moved into an unnatural position after she was killed. they say daniels died of multiple sharp force injuries. clergy members to take safety precautions. they're not sure if the minister was specifically targeted, but they're worried this killer could strike again. >> a very evil person. a person with no soul. i'm not going to go into what was done. >> i don't want them to die. i want him to live. i want him punished and off the street and i don't want anyone else to go through what we've gone through. >> police held a closed door meeting last night to talk about security issues. a $13,000 reward leading to an arrest and conviction in the case. at any moment a motorcade carrying the body of senator ted kennedy will leave his compound

in cape cod and begin a journey into boston. the kennedy family held a private mass at the home in hyannis port. it will carry his body to the john f. kennedy library where it will lie in repose for two days during the 70-mile journey to boston they'll pass sites that meant a great deal to the senator including the church where his mother, rose, was baptized. and this evening a public viewing at the library that kennedy spent decades help development. thousands will file past the casket to pay tribute to the last brother of a political dynasty. a private funeral for kennedy will be held saturday in boston. president obama will deliver the eulo eulogy. all four living presidents have been invited. he prayed every day at that church when his daughter, kara, underwent lung cancer. he will be buried this weekend

near his fallen brothers. he is eligible for burial at arlington for his service in congress and two years in the army. sailing around the world would be tough on anybody and now imagine doing it as a teenager alone. what makes this young man's journey even more impressive.

helicopters, two six wing and no structures are threatened and today is kind of a wait and see day, especially with the weather coming in today. >> it's awfully hot and dry. how close is this to the jet propulsion lab? >> jpl is about three to five miles west of the location and the smoke is definitely affecting it because of the winds, the santa ana conditions and the low humidity and high heat. >> you got awfully close could you feel the wind and the heat from the flames? >> most definitely. you know, most wildfires create their own weather patterns and their own winds. you could hear the winds whipping up from these flames and generating its own weather and it's definitely scary stuff to listen to because it's right in front of you at 300 yards in front of me and it was a little scary at times. >> i bet it was. generally, do hikers and campers start these fires or lightning strikes or what is the prevailing theory here? >> right now because of the conditions and the weather

around here lately it's definitely suspicious in origin because there is no dry lightning and hasn't been any storms and these are well-traveled highways and byways and hiking trails up there and without dry lightning conditions it is very suspicious. i would say it's probable an automobile, motorcyclist or a hiker starting there or residuals from these people. >> you got very close. these are terrific images, matt. last question, about five seconds. did this foul the air in pasadena or glendale? >> oh, yeah. we've been able to smell. i have all my windows closed in my house right now because it's gross. the air quality is gross. just yuck. >> matt hartman, many, many thanks. thanks. when you have pictures or videos like he does, send them to ireport.com and click the upload now link. right nukeeping an eye on the chemical plant fire in detroit and as you can see the flames of smoke are pretty

we're still watching a chemical fire, which is still burning outside of detroit in michigan. you can see the flames and smoke are still pretty intense. it's not as big a fire as it was maybe an hour ago. this broke out exactly two hours ago. nobody was injured. three or four workers were inside and everybody got out okay. investigators tell affiliate wdiv it apparently began when a tanker was being fuelled and it quickly spread to other tankers nearby. this is a 5 million gallon facility. mostly industrial lubricants. 100 homes in the area. they are being or have been evacuated. traffic has been halted on i-75 in both directions and that's a headache. amtrak service disrupted between pontiac and detroit and the air

quality is being closely monitored. fire departments from neighboring detroit and highland park have been sent in to try to help out. here's new video we have from turkey. a train crash under to a construction vehicle. we're getting two different reports on what happened. the mayor of a nearby town says the earth moving machine was trying to cross the tracks when the train hit, but a passenger on the train tells cnn that the machine slid down a hillside and crash under to the train. in any event, several cars derailed and several passengers killed and more than a dozen hurt and some people still stuck in the first car of the train. leave his beloved compound on cape cod to begin a 70-mile trip into boston. this last hour the kennedy family held a private mass at the home in hyannis port, the

home to his brother and his parents. the motorcade will carry kennedy's body past the jfk library. it will lie in repose there tomorrow. it will go into boston proper right downtown and pass a lot of sites that were very dear to the senator. the church where his mother, rose, was baptized, the office where he as a young man worked. he will pass mayor tom manino is going to ring a bell 47 times representing the 47 years that kennedy served in congress. this evening a public viewing at the kennedy library. he spent decades developing that library for his brother. thousands will file past the closed casket to pay tribute to the last brother of a political dynasty. a private funeral for kennedy is to be held on saturday in boston. president obama will deliver the eulogy at and all four former

and she had the right answers to his wife's questions. a police raid is under way in antioch, california. these are live pictures from kgo in the bay area. we understand it is connected to the case. so, a lot we don't know. a lot we're efforting, as they say. more information shortly. a police raid in antioch, california. again, this is the san francisco bay area where the now young woman apparently turned herself in to a police station in the concord area in the east bay. we'll bring you more as we get it. new evidence has been released in the case of the florida couple killed in their bedroom last month as 9 of their 13 children were home. surveillance cameras captured men wearing ninja garb and black masks entering the home of byrd and melanie billings and one child was watching it all. ed lavandera has watched those tapes and what he saw was downright chilling. >> there were two particular camera angles which were very striking. one where you see the initial moment where byrd and melanie

billings are confronted by the gunman who break into their home. at one point you see byrd throw his arms up like he's not going to put up any fight and then another group of men come up from behind him and we understand where this was shot in the leg and you see him drop it to the ground. and then the scuffle continues. you do not see the murders unfold on these videotapes. those take place in the couple's master bedroom, inside the home. >> and the whole sequence takes only just a few minutes. it was almost assault team precision. a judge allowed the media to review the tapes taken from the home, but no copy could be distributed and seven people have been charged in the couple's death. and back to massachusetts. a motorcade carrying the body of senator ted kennedy about to begin a final journey. earlier the family held a private mass and deborah feyerick is outside the compound right now joining us with a live

update. deb? >> well, hey, there, chuck. one of the interesting things is after the service was over and remember the kennedy cousins came out on to the porch, the porch that is there in front of the main house, the house that used to belong to joe kennedy and then ted kennedy and they were hugging each other and, really, there was a sense of joy to it that they were reconnecting there, supporting one another. we are seeing a little bit of movement there. a couple folks got into a hearse earlier. there is a bus, that bus is going to carry some of the family members also to the john f. kennedy memorial, the library in boston there. now, we can tell you one interesting thing and that is the future of the compound is sort of right now up in the air. a close family associate is now telling cnn that kennedy had numerous conversations about possibly turning the main house

there into some sort of museum or a non-profit educational center to preserve the history. what's so interesting is that, you know, you have such vivid pictures and images of the young kennedys, the nine siblings playing on the lawn, the images that really define such an important part of american history and so whether it is continued to be used as a summer home or something else, that now possibly in play. now, the widow, ted kennedy's widow, victoria reggie, we have not seen her over the course of the last 48 hours, but we are told by a family friend that she is in relatively good spirits. that she is happy that, in fact, the two of them had this time together. she says that her husband, senator kennedy, was able to do everything he wanted to do except for getting health care passed, but they really were able to spend a wonderful year together. and a year that they were lucky to have. we saw many faces that we

recognized, caroline kennedy, maria shriver, joe kennedy, bobby kennedy and the generation that will now, basically, assume the mantle now that senator kennedy is gone. 29 cousins, all of them really held together because of senator kennedy and his role as the patriarch of the family. again, we're just waiting for the casket to be brought out. he was lying in repose in the sun room in the main house and the honor guard standing ready to make sure that it happens. back to you, chuck. >> deborah feyerick, thanks. great images. appreciate it. all right, we have this story, as well. >> absolutely brilliant. you know, i'm feeling ecstatic. >> can you tell he has a british acsent? he has sailed himself into the record books. ( sighs )

a public service announcement, a psa has gone viral reaching an online audience all over the world and creating a bit of a stir. we're about to show you some of it, it's pretty graphic. fair warning. it is to demonstrate the dangers of texting while driving. a teen causes a major accident and exactly what happens as a result of that accident is shown in great detail over several minutes as the driver watches in horror. her friends in her car and people in other vehicles die. what's your thought about that? you think it's over the top? is it offensive? is it effective? most of you are fine with it, but we'd like to hear from both

sides. you have a problem with the psa? give us a call. 877-835-5456. cnn.com/hln if you're on the worldwide web or text views plus your comment and name to hlntv. standard text rates apply. let's hear from you. it took him nine months, a british teen has broke an record by becoming the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe. melissa long is here with more. youngest by how much? >> just a few months. he completed this, as you mentioned, in nine months. traveling some 30,000 miles in a 50-foot boat all by his lonesome. we'll introduce you to him right now. he did have to battle winds and 50-foot waves and a share of technical problems, as well. he tells the bbc that being on his own was certainly the most difficult part because there's nobody to help him out there and he said he did miss physical contact.

let us show you his past. set off on his journey on the 15th of november and he traveled south in the atlantic around africa, south africa and celebrating his 17th birthday right there and went under australia through the pacific ocean and through the panama canal and then coming back to the atlanta and the finish line cornwell, england, and back to where he started from a grand celebration when he got back. celebrating not only this and his 17th birthday, as well. he did break the record of an american who completed the same journey in just a few months longer in 13 months and, again, he is the youngest guy ever to pull this off turning 17 while on this grand global adventure. >> there's a kid with a bright future. >> absolutely. >> what else is getting all the traffic at cnn.com? >> this is a quirky story. i'm not sure if you hurt of it. a rhyming slang and the story is out of england today. what is it? we'll explain right now. because you can use cockney or

english when you go to the atm in order to get some cash. it's basically a phrase that rhymes with the word you actually want to use. so, thus, as i mentioned, rhyming slang. so, say you go to the atm and it asks you for your pin. instead of a pin number it will say please enter, please enter your huckleberry fin. never mind moolah for your money. chuck, this is so hard for me to say. let me just let the locals do it because they can do it and i'm stumbling all over the place. >> all right. did you get that? >> i didn't get one of them. i have a hard enough time picking up the geico commercials. >> it's out of east london and popular culture, as well. you may have seen it in the film "ocean 11" "mary poppins." >> please enter your huckleberry

pin instead of please insert your pin and nevermind contact your bank, but rattle and tank. oy va. >> about nine cultures going there at once. all right, melissa, great job, thanks so much. after a stint in prison, michael vick is getting ready to call the plays on an nfl field and before he does that, before he faces a defensive front line, he faced a judge. it's what doct most for headaches. for arthritis pain... in your hands... knees... and back.

well, apparently suspects have been taken into custody in the disappearance and apparently the safe return of a missing child. this is 18 years ago, so, it's obviously now a young woman who has been found safe and sound. apparently the case has been solved. this is a raid going on at a house in antioch, california, that is, obviously, related to the case. affiliate ktvu reports two suspects have been taken into custody in the abduction of that young girl who was 11. jaycee lee dugard was abducted at a bus stop in the lake tahoe area and was apparently living

at that residence that we just showed you. she was 1 1 at the time and she turned up in good health. we don't know exactly where she's been the entire 18 years, we do hope to learn more at a news conference later today. again, there's a raid under way and the san francisco bay area in antioch, california, which is not far from the police station where she showed up just this week. we'll bring you late developments and more on that apparent arrest in the case just ahead. live picture, again, from hyannis port, massachusetts. here it is. the casket bearing senator edward kennedy's remains being loaded on to a hearse. the vehicles will make their way from the family compound there north into boston and the late senator's body will lie in repose at the jfk library on the south side of boston. it will also take a tour through boston itself to go past several landmarks. you can imagine during the middle of a work day how many

people will show up in boston proper to show their respect to the late senator who was so much a part of massachusetts history. again, this is just now beginning. and we're going to keep it here for just a few moments. there is the kennedy family emerging from the compound and the woman on the right in the black is victoria, his wife who spent the last year with him, obviously, it was painful for her, but she has told all of her family and friends that they did enjoy that time together. they went sailing as much as his health would allow. he obviously underwent surgery at a hospital at duke medical center down in north carolina about a year ago and he underwent a punishing round of chemotherapy of radiation and other treatment and she went into serious decline, of course, this spring. he has not been in the capital in washington for several months

and he did, of course, attend the inaugural of president barack obama. he suffered a seizure at a party at a reception reception afterwards and has largely been out of the public's sight since then. this is a color guard. there are nine active duty u.s. military service personnel who are performing this color guard to honor an army veteran after all and a man who will be laid to rest over the weekend at arlington national cemetery. not far from the eternal flame where, of course, the body of john f. kennedy, his late brother and former president was laid to rest, and also not far from where bobby kennedy, his older brother, the former new york senator who was killed in june 1968 was also laid to rest. again, ted kennedy's remains are being carried. i am just going to go silent as you watch this proceeding for the next 30 seconds or so.

the hearst is going to take the remains of ted kennedy into

boston 70 miles and we'll be watching it from many different vantage points just ahead.

18 years after she went missing, an 11-year-old returns to her parents as a full-grown woman, if you can imagine. hear how the mystery was solved. and there is no mistaking the message behind this public service announcement. teens, don't text while you drive. it's pretty graphic. does it go too far? we'll hear from you. and one final trip through the state that meant so much to him. you're watching it live as the motorcade carries the body of senator ted kennedy from the family compound to his brother's presidential library. we, of course, will track that for you. this is hln "news and views." so glad you're with us on this thursday. i'm susan hendricks. as i mentioned, you're

looking at a motorcade carrying the body of senator ted kennedy. it's about to leave the family compound on cape cod for its final journey to boston. earlier today the kennedy family held a private mass at his home in hyannis port that you're looking at there in the background. just moments ago kennedy's flag-draped casket was carried into a hearst. it will carry kennedy's body to the john f. kennedy presidential library where it will lie in repose until tomorrow. the motorcade will pass sights that meant a great deal to senator kennedy, including the church where his mother, rose, was baptized. there will be a public viewing at the library. thousands will file past the closed casket to pay tribute to the last brother of this political dynasty. and a private funeral for kennedy will be held saturday in boston. president barack obama will deliver the eulogy at our lady

local reports this is where due guard ga -- dugard had been living for all these years. brian is here with the latest. what can you tell us now? >> reporter: can you imagine 18 years you've held out hope that one day you would be reunited with your daughter and it appears that's exactly what's going to happen for jaycee dugard's mother and stepfather who have held out hope for all this time. yesterday she apparently walked into a police station down in san francisco and turned herself in saying i am the girl that's been missing. we know two people are in custody, a man and a woman, and all of this is starting to come together. as she went missing june 10th, 1991. she was just 11 years old at the time. she was on her way to the bus stop right before her stepfather's eyes. just 150 yards away. a car pulls up behind her a man and woman inside, dragged her into the car and speed away. that was 18 years ago. that was the last anyone has

seen of jaycee until yesterday when she came into that police station. now, they're interviewing her. they are 99% sure she is the missing girl. they're going to do a dna test just to cross all their ts and dot all their is. they believe she will alive and well. we are expecting more details at a 3:00 press conference here in the town of plaserville at the sheriff's office and hoping to learn more about this case and about where this girl has been all this time. i'm brian hickey. susan, back to you. >> cases like this don't always have such a good ending. i understand the stepdad at first was apprehensive but said it's her, she answered all the questions we asked. >> and she's got a birth mark that the mother will be looking to for her own proof that it is her daughter some 18 years later. you can imagine how much she's changed in that time. last seen her when she was 11. talking to one of the investigators this morning outside of the sheriff's office saying this is a one in a million case. >> yes, it is.

master bedroom inside the home. >> a judge allowed the media to view the tapes taken from the home but said no one could copy or distribute them as we hear from ed. he witnessed those. seven people have been charged in the couple's death. let's talk about weather now and tropical storm danny is gathering strength in the atlantic. forecasters say it could be a category 1 hurricane by saturday. right now it appears danny though will@ miss the carolina coast. although forecasters are advising people all along the east coast to watch that storm, keep their eyes out. the storm could threaten new england this weekend and could be near cape cod by saturday night. so something to look out for there on the east coast. back to those live pictures for you. a motorcade carrying the body of senator ted kennedy has left his beloved compound on cape cod to begin its journey to boston. earlier the kennedy family held a private mass at his home in hyannis port. the motorcade will carry kennedy's body to the jfk presidential library where it will lie in repose until

as scientists look for cleaner forms of fuel, one groups of researchers say the key could be something slimy. we're talking about algae. emily chang has more in this edition of "ecosolutions." >> reporter: it looks like just a bunch of green goo, but the algae surging through these pipes could be the key to a low carbon future. inside this greenhouse in china, researchers at a private company called enn are studying how to turn algae into energy or biofuel. could you use this to power a car or fly an airplane?

continental airlines has completed a test fly using a biofuel. exxon, often accused of lagging in its pursuit of alternative energy is now one of many companies jumping on the bandwagon, pouring money into algae energy research. >> if successful, we see biofuels going into our refineries, being processed with other petroleum products, and coming out and going straight in the distribution system and into gasoline stations around the country. >> reporter: so why algae so attractive? well, it can multiply in size several times a day. it feeds on massive amounts of carbon dioxide or co2, a greenhouse gas, cleaning up emissions as it grows. >> aur thanks to emily chang for that report. the next step is genetic engineering. researchers hope to cultivate analogy strain that has the

highest oil content and absorbs carbon dioxide the fastest. perhaps no american city has been hit harder by the recession and the decline of the auto industry than detroit, michigan. a rock star from the motor city is doing what he can to turn things around. cnnmoney.com's poppy harlow reports. >> reporter: this is no ordinary concert. it's kid rock performing at his biggest headline show ever bringing 80,000 people to his hometown of detroit. talk about a city that needs an economic stimulus like that. ♪ ♪ it makes us who we are in times like these ♪ >> reporter: detroit has never seen times like these, but the people of this city have an unexpected patron in kid rock. the bad boy from detroit has become the voice of a city in

american bad ass beer, that can be thanked for creating jobs in the state. more than 400 jobs. >> there's no way to get love back and get respect if you don't give it first. i've always tried to do that, give everything i have to this city. >> reporter: but battling rampant unemployment, detroit has problems much bigger than even this larger than life rocker can solve. >> it's got to get cleaned up, you know. they've got to bring -- i mean, we just almost need an angel. ♪ because this is my hometown >> reporter: and, you know, he said at the end detroit almost needs an angel, and it's interesting, we spoke with his father while we were there with him in detroit right before his concert, and his father said in some ways i think that kid rock is this city's angel, and i have to tell you this morning i got an e-mail from someone i work with down there in atlanta at cnn and she wrote i'm a native detroiter who gets tired of

"showbiz tonight's" a.j. hammer has his take. it's just all these giant things make me look small. i eat this fiber one yogurt. (mr. mehta) it has five grams of fiber, zero fat, and fifty calories. please, this is too creamy and delicious. it's true, only fifty calories., (announcer) fiber one yogurt. new aches and pains,

there's no way to hide it. sir, have you been drinking tonight? if you ride drunk, you will get caught... and you will get arrested. chris brown was sentenced this week to six months of community labor and a year of domestic violence counseling for beating ex-girlfriend rihanna. well, it didn't take long for the singer to put a new song up on youtube. "showbiz tonight's" a.j. hammer

is in new york. a.j., you're tackling this up with on "showbiz tonight." could this song be hinting at a reconciliation. that's what the rumor mill is saying about this. >> you listen to the lyrics and it sure sounds like it. there's no official confirmation from chris brown or his camp that this song is aimed directly at rihanna b you it's transparent and obvious as it gets if you get me. let me play a little bit of "changed man." ♪ you need to tell us what to do ♪ ♪ it's you and me but i'm going to make it up to you and show the world i'm a changed man ♪ >> some of these lyrics, you need to trust what you do, it's you and me my love. i need to make it up to you and show the world i'm a changed man. can we love again? girl, i know i told you, baby, this ain't over. chris goes on to sing saying i'm sorry doesn't make it all right, i know, but i believe that we

can make it if we try. yeah, a huge hint at a reconciliation. let me tell you a couple things that jump out to me. number one, words like saying i'm sorry doesn't make it all right, but i believe we can make it if we try have to be very close to words that are heard by battered women from their abusers all the time. i cannot escape that. also, he obviously wrote this, if it is a hint at reconciliation, before sentencing. i'm guessing singing to her in a song that doesn't mention her name doesn't necessarily violate his probation. >> do you think this could help or hurt his image if possible, if it's able to get any worse than it already is? >> i got to tell you, in my mind, i think this is a pretty dumb move because essentially through this song he's reminding everybody that he beat up rihanna. that's what it's doing here. i think he should have stuck to making great music, not necessarily addressing this issue. i understand he has supporters. they want everybody to forgive and forget what he did, but i

think at its core, this is a song spawned from domestic violence. i think it's a very dangerous idea if we reward him by buying into the song. >> what would help his image is if he gets help and moves on from there. thank you so much. >> see you tonight on "showbiz tonight" with much more on the chris brown song drama. at 11:00 p.m. eastern and pacific right here on hln. there you go. >> there you go, a.j. appreciate it. thanks. well, the labor department says there were less laid off workers filing unemployment claims and less claims overall last week. despite the drop, both figures indicate the economy is not so healthy, and analysts expect the unemployment rate to keep on going up. speaking of the economy, michael vick, he's taking care of business in a virginia courtroom before trying to take business on the field. today a bankruptcy judge approved a plan for vick to repay his creditors more than $20 million on the condition that he hires a personal

after 18 years, a mother in california gets news she can hardly believe. her kidnapped daughter is alive and well and anxious to see her family. a final journey from his beloved home on cape cod to boston for senator ted kennedy, some live pictures for you here. the motorcade carrying his body is making its way to the john f. kennedy presidential library, where it will lie in repose. we'll keep you posted on that. and there is no mistaking the message behind this public service announcement. teens, do not text while you're driving. but, does it go too far? here's the latest from hln news and views. i'm richelle carey. thanks, as always, for your time. we begin this hour with an amazing story out of california. a little girl who vanished 18

years ago has been found alive. it is the end of a long nightmare for jaycee dugard and her family. she was 11 when she was snatched. she was just walking to her bus stop in south lake tahoe, that was back in 1991. police say she walked to a bay area police station yesterday and said, i'm the girl who has been missing. fbi agents and california police are searching a home in antioch that has been linked to this investigation. it apparently is where jaycee dugard has been living all this time. the contra costa sheriff's department says a registered sex offender and his wife have been arrested in this girl's disappearance. they are being held on $1 million bail. the couple faces several charges including kidnapping, rape by force, lewd and lascivious acts with a minor and those are just some of the charges. they arrested them after they

walked into the police station with dugard to ask a question. we're hoping to learn more a lot more details about this and police will be holding a news conference in about two hours from now. there is new evidence in the case of that florida couple killed in their bedroom last month. their special needs children were home. surveillance cameras captured these men entering the home of byrd and melanie billings and struggling with the couple. ed lavendera has actually watched some of this surveillance video. he joins us now from pensacola. tell us what you can about what you were able to see, ed? >> well, we spent about two hours looking at the surveillance video that was taken by 16 cameras inside the building's home. we also combed through some 2,000 photographs taken by crime scene investigators. this is, allowed, essentially, under florida law, because all of this evidence has been turned over to defense attorneys and under florida law.

once that happens, the public is tw able to see this evidence as well. but the billings' family requested that these photographs and videos had not been disseminated. so we were able to see those video images. and we've seen some of them already. you've seen the video images of that red van and several men approaching the billings home, but what we haven't seen until today is the video images from inside the home. but, first of all, the video images of the actual murder, that does not exist. there were no video cameras inside the bedroom of byrd and melanie billings, so you do not see the actual moment where they are shot and killed. but you do see the initial confrontation between the gunman, who came in from two different points in the house, and there are incredibly chilling images on these videotapes. you see moments before the gunman had burst into the home, a young child, 5 to 7 years old, walking through the living room where this confrontation took

place, and moments later you see byrd and melanie billings appear in the living room and you can see that confrontation taking place. byrd billings is surprised by two men who approached behind him and you see him put his arms up in the air to sort of give up or signal to the gunman that he wasn't putting up any kind of fight, but then he was apparently shot in the leg and falls to the floor. the men, at one point, you also see melanie billings reach for that small child that is in the living room to try to hold her. then byrd and melanie billings are taken out of the living room area and toward their bedroom. that's where, based on the crime scene photographs we had seen, is clearly where they were shot and killed this morning. there was another camera angle that is incredibly chilling. you do not see byrd and melanie billings in it, but you do see it clearly from the standpoint of what it must have been like to be one of the small children in the home. a young girl, 10 to 12 years old, outside of her window, you see the red van appear. the men jump out of the window, run into the house. you can tell that the girl is

startled by the sounds she's hearing. she gets up out of the bed, walks to the door, paces back and forth from the door to the bed, at one point crawling back into the bed several times to hide under her own bed sheets and appears to be putting her hands over her ears. that video image clearly troubling. and then at the very end, you see the gunman reappear outside that window, jump back into the van, and the van drives away. it's then that the young girl kind of figures out exactly what's going on and she runs over to the window, only to see that red van driving away. incredibly powerful images of what it must have been like to be inside that home. >> a powerful and terrifying, ed, absolutely terrifying. thank you for describing that scene and painting a picture for us so we know what this family has been going through. ed lavendera, thank. well, we also have some disturbing new details that are emerge about the death of a pastor of a small church southwest of oklahoma city. investigators say the body of 61-year-old carol daniels was

staged. what they mean is that it was moved into an unnatural position after she was killed. they say that daniels died from ultimate sharp force injuries. police are warning clergy members in the town of anadarko to take safety precautions. detective aren't sure if this minister was specifically targeted, but they say they're worried this killer could strike again. >> a very evil person. a person with no soul. but i'm not going to go into what was done. >> i can't want them to die. i want them to live. i want them punished, i want them off the street. i don't want anyone else to have to go through what we've gone through. >> police held a closed door meeting with pastors last night to talk to them about their safety, to talk to them about security issues. there is a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case. the motorcade carrying the

body of senator ted kennedy is on its way to the jfk presidential library in boston. it will lie in repose there. these are live pictures of the hearse making its way through the city of boston, right now on the streets there. it is moving past some of the really important landmarks in kennedy's life, including faneuil hall and the church where his mother, rose, was baptized. earlier the kennedy family held a private mass at his home in hyannis port and that's where this motorcade began and has since been making the approximately 70-mile trip from hyannis port to the city of boston. this evening, there will be a public viewing at the jfk library, which kennedy spent decades helping develop in honor of his brother, the former president. thousands of people will file past the casket to day tribute and there have been lots of people along the motorcade route as well. you can see people right there wanting to pay their respects. there will be a private funeral

for kennedy on saturday in boston. president obama will deliver the eulogy and all four former presidents, living presidents, will be invited. obviously, the living presidents, pardon me. his body will then be taken to arlington national cemetery in virginia where he will be buried near his fallen brothers. he is eligible at burial at arlington because of his service in the army. in 2004, the democratic legislature changed massachusetts law so a republican governor couldn't fill a senate vacancy by appointment. just before he died, kennedy sent a letter to deval patrick and urged them to change the law back. on cnn's "american morning," patrick said he would support the change, despite criticism it would be an act of hypocrisy. >> i think the hypocrisy are some of the ones making these criticisms are the once that made this very proposal back in

2004. they thought it was good policy then. if it was good policy then, then it's still good policy. it's like saying that the congress of the united states shouldn't have passed the civil rights act because they hadn't done it before. they'd considered and voted it down before. if it's good policy, let's do it and do it in and out. >> under the current law, there couldn't be a special election to fill kennedy's seat before early january. nasa's test of its next generation moon rocket isn't getting off the ground. the planned horizontal test firing of the main booster engine of the new aries rocket, it's being scrubbed. the test is part of a $108 billion program launched by former president george w. bush to return to the moon by 2020. the test has not been rescheduled. a mock launch of a full aries rocket has been set for october 21st -- 31st, that is, at kennedy space center. nasa is hoping to launch the space shuttle "discovery" late

>> a judge allowed reporters to view the tapes taken from the home, but said no one could copy or distribute them. seven people have been charged in those killings. firefighters are making some headway against this wildfire burning in the angeles national forest in california, but high temperatures, low humidity, making it really difficult still, but at last check, the fire was about 45% contained. that is great progress. it has burned, though, more than 1,800 acres so far. nearly 1,000 firefighters are working on it, using bulldozers and water dropping planes to try to get this thing contained. tropical storm danny is gathering strength in the atlantic right now. top sustained winds are about 60 miles per hour. forecasters say it could be a category 1 hurricane by saturday. they say that folks up and down the east coast really need to keep an eye on this. projections indicate danny could strengthen by the time it gets to new england over the weekend and be near cape cod by saturday night.
